Thanks guys! I purchased the boat a few weeks ago. I haven't had much time to play with it yet as it was winterized right after the test drive. It should run around 75 mph!

If Nick-O-Teen's 28 with prochargers runs 75 mph would you expect a 28 with 350mags to run more like 65 mph?

ontheh2o,
One of the guys that owned the all white 28SS said he was getting 67 mph with 350 mags and Bravo 1's. He said if it was propped right 70 was a possibility.

Thanks for the info.

How expensive to convert a 28 from TRS to Bravo drives? How big of a disadavantage are the TRS's.

here is a another pic of my 28 ss. the change to bravos and ext boxes made a world of difference on this boat. felt very heavy and glued to the water before. now runs in rough water like a 40' .cost of conversion i don't think i really want to add it up. 2 bravos, 2 transom assy, 2 extension boxes, hydraulic steering,and many hours of rigging.don't think i would do it again but the results are great. when i did it i had stock 370's and ran about 60 mph after about 72 mph w/much better handling

Yeah, I've heard people say that they can run 70+ with stock 350's. I just don't see it. Mine with stock 350's ran low 60's. The prochargers added around 10-12 mph. I find it difficult to think my boat with blown 350's was only 3-5mph faster. It's propped perfectly.
